Wild Reeds (DVD)
A small boarding school in the south of France is the setting for WILD REEDS, where four friends come of age in 1962. As the Algerian war rages in Northern Africa, Francois faces his homosexuality after an encounter with Serge, who is facing his own crisis, having lost a brother to the war. Mditi fights off a confusing attraction to ultraconservative Henri, despite her communist upbringing. Small-town friendships are used as compelling metaphors against the larger backdrop of 1960s idealism and political unrest. The personal becomes the political as Francois, Mditi, Serge, and Henri come to realize their identities and cherish their friendships.NR"

The rubber-faced Roberto Benigni, Italy`s most beloved slapstick comic, stars in THE MONSTER as Loris, a bumbling con man whose everyday activities consist of shoplifting from the local supermarket and preventing anyone from buying the apartment he is squatting in. Suspected of being a vicious rapist, he is seduced by a voluptuous female cop (Nicoletta Braschi, Benigni`s wife in real life) who hopes to overstimulate his sexual urges and catch him in the act of committing a crime. A comedy of misidentification like Benigni`s box-office smash JOHNNY STECCHINO, THE MONSTER features Benigni doing his best imitation of the innocent everyman pioneered by Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton. Whether it`s dropping a cigarette down his pants or dealing with an out-of-control chain saw, Benigni is all arms, legs, and statically charged hair. Once censured by the pope, Benigni pushes the edge in risqui scenes with his wife, who spends much of the movie gamely thrusting her pelvis and chest in front of Loris. THE MONSTER is a great introduction to a comic whose jokes, it is said, contributed to the downfall of an Italian prime minister.
